As a dad of ten, John McGeehan has a strong father's intuition. When his son, Joe "Babe" McGeehan disappeared, John wondered if Babe's car had gone off the road at Unruh Ave. and into the Delaware River. He asked nearby Orthodox Auto parts to check video-surveillance footage for the night of Jan. 7th, the last time anyone had seen Babe. This is the image the cameras caught. Babe's vehicle enters the screen at about the 15-second mark.
